FINDING GRACE
Proverbs 3:3-4
Do not let almsgiving and faithfulness forsake you,
But hang them upon your neck;
And you will find grace
And provide good things before the Lord and men.
Personal Challenge
This section of Proverbs started out by reminding us to not forget the precepts of our Lord, if we want to live a full and peaceful life. It continues here with the next step in that journey to theosis, being in the image of Christ. We are called to a life of almsgiving and faithfulness. This is a call to give above and beyond our tithing and regular giving. It goes far beyond giving money. Are we giving to those in need our time, prayers, our love. Are we giving to God the spiritual gifts that He has given to us. If we want to find grace in our lives, then we must give it through almsgiving and faithfulness to God. Lord, have mercy! Lord, have mercy! Lord, have mercy!
